Letter: America needs to seek God's forgiveness for abortions

In 1917 Our Lady of Fatima appeared to three children in Portugal and told them if people do not cease offending God, a worse one (war) would break out. We know that millions died in World War II.

Now the warning of Fatima is still ignored, and look what has happened to this country. We used to be the greatest nation on earth. Then people stopped going to church and many simply do not believe in God any more. This new war today is now good versus evil.

Now we can see the sad fruits of offending God and making a mockery of his commandments. Because of that, America is going downhill. As just one example, consider that only a nation that has turned away from God could allow the slaughter of millions of innocent children by abortion such as we have. Think of all the contributions and innovations these people could have offered America if they were not aborted. How many more teachers and schools would be around now if it were not for abortion?

We need to ask our loving God for forgiveness for offending him and turn our hearts back to him.
